THE COMMONWEALTH ASSEMBLY
연방의회
The Commonwealth Assembly (연방의회) of the Myeong Commonwealth, which inherits the mantle of the Jungchuwon (중추원) of the Daehan Empire, is the Commonwealth's legislative organ, responsible for enacting and amending laws for mandatory promulgation by HM The Emperor, through a supreme entity known as 'Emperor-in-Assembly' (연방의회에 있어서의 명황).
It is a bilateral assembly composed of two chambers: the House of Peoples (만민원) and the Confederal Council (만방원). Members of the House of Peoples, known simply as 'Members of the Commonwealth Assembly' (MCAs), are popularly elected through a Commonwealth-wide vote, while members of the Confederal Council, called 'Confederal Councillors,' are doubled by heads of Provinces, Protectorates, and Associated States or their appointees. The House, chaired by a Lord Speaker, has the power to pass legislation, approve the confederal budget, and elect or dismiss the Prime Minister and other Secretaries of the Commonwealth. The Council, chaired by the Lord President, can veto only bills that seek to amend the Constitution or the relations between Commonwealth authorities and confederal subjects and between confederal subjects.

Confederal Council (만방원)
The upper chamber of Parliament is known as the Confederal Council. Every confederal subject, be it a Province, Protected State, or an Associated State, regardless of its size, gets one seat in this chamber. Before proposing a bill to change the Constitution or any other bill that affects how Commonwealth authorities and confederal subjects, and how a confederal subject and another confederal subject work together, the HM Government needs the approval of the Confederal Council. A simple majority vote can acquire this approval. The head of government of a confederal subject may appoint someone, including himself to represent his confederal subject as a Confederal Councillor. When voting, a Confederal Councillor should effectuate the confederal subject's preferences as far as possible. The Lord Chancellor of the Privy Council is the ex officio chair of the Confederal Council, known as the Lord President.
